    Default Enneagram tritype/trifix theory

    I'm becoming increasingly interested in Tri-fix theory. Basically it states that a person has 1 head, 1 heart, and 1 gut type of the enneagram embedded into their instincts. I think I'm 4,5,9 tri-fix.

    I'm 3w4; if I had a trifix, if would definitely be 9w1 for the gut triad and either 5w6 or 7w6 for the head triad. I haven't thought about the last one very seriously.

    Holy shit, unlucky. Your trifix is the withdrawn triad.

    I'm increasingly beginning to doubt that you're a Four, Nick. You're just too assertive.

    I'd be interested to know your head type, actually.

    But he's a counterphobic four!



    edit: I'm a 7w6. My gut type would probably be a 1w2 and I have no fucking clue for my heart type.

    I find it funny how hes always talking about attachment of people to certain things, but thats exactly what hes done. He attached himself to enneagram 4.

    Actually, looking into it some more (still tentative, but I think I'm right), I would say that my head type would be 5w4. Having two 4 wings is interesting.

    5 brings out a lot things that I do see in my personality, beneath the dominance of the 3 type personality. It explains my strong intellectual bent, the extent by which I often feel I even intellectualise my internal emotional responses. It probably exacerbates the difficulty I experience with intimacy as a 3; I've always had trouble forming and sustaining meaningful connection with more than a select few people. It compounds my fear of emotional vulnerability and explains my tendency to try and withdraw first in order to process some emotions. It also explains why I dislike when people impose upon me, either in rudeness or in kindness - I'm uncomfortable with having people become too emotionally invested in me, because I fear being overwhelmed by their demands - and also fear that I can't possibly reciporcate and will end up hurting them.

    So, 3w4-5w4-9w1.

    I changed my mind. I think I'm 7w6, 1w2, 3w4.
    Hmm okay that works.

    I'd probably be a 5w4 4w5 9w? (though not necessarily in that order).

    Sometimes I really have no clue what you're all on about.

    Gut types - 1, 8, 9
    Heart types - 2, 3, 4
    Head types - 5, 6, 7

    Pick one of each to obtain your piece of eternal internal peace!

    A fun way to figure out your Trifix might be to take one of the tests that score you for each type, such as this one:

    Enneagram Personality Type Indicator Results

    Your highest score will indicate you basic type, or it will be among the top 2-3 scores. Low scores in some type might come out negative. That's perfectly normal.
    For best results, you should answer all the questions that apply.

    Code:
    Type 1  Type 2  Type 3  Type 4  Type 5  Type 6  Type 7  Type 8  Type 9 
       -7      -2       4       1       1      0      9      -3      -3
    The Nine Personality Types of the Enneagram

    Type 1: The Reformer. The rational, idealistic type.
    Type 2: The Helper. The caring, nurturing type.
    Type 3: The Motivator. The adaptable, success-oriented type.
    Type 4: The Artist. The intuitive, reserved type.
    Type 5: The Thinker. The perceptive, cerebral type.
    Type 6: The Skeptic. The committed, security-oriented type.
    Type 7: The Generalist. The enthusiastic, productive type.
    Type 8: The Leader. The powerful, aggressive type.
    Type 9: The Peacemaker. The easygoing, accommodating type.
    My highest Head type is 7.
    My highest Heart type is 3.
    And my highest Gut type is tied between 8 and 9.

    Test found here.
